Cressi Start Jacket BCD
Size Chart
The Start is the ideal BCD (buoyancy compensator device) for beginners and dive centers where the jackets are often inflated to their maximum capacity. The size is clearly visible on the shoulder strap. Made in resistance 1000 Denier Cordura (outside panel) and 500 Denier (inside layer). The Denier Nylon Cordura is more resistant to erosion caused by long-term friction and extends the duration of the weldings, as it is harder than Nylon. The waist strap is independent of the air bladder. The strap can be tightened while the jacket is deflated without squeezing the diver's stomach when the jacket is inflated. Inflator with a double air filtration system; under the hose connection stem and around the valve. The inflator can easily be rinsed to remove sand and other debris. The backplate system is made by ultra-durable thermoplastic truly small and compact for lightness. A rubber damper help grips the tank, a second tank strap can be added. A nylon locator strap is included to ensure proper tank positioning every time. 3 exhaust valves for buoyancy adjustment in any position. 2 large pockets cargo pockets with Velcro closure.
